PETER DIBBLE
Join Peter for this LOG BASKET 3x day workshop.
We’re so chuffed to welcome back this other worldly basketmaker and Tear Up Festival OG.
In Peter’s 3 day workshop, you will make a log basket starting with an underfoot base, with English randed sides & cranked handles.
However this log basket has added extras like a textured English rand, a false foot & double staked border.
There’ll undoubtedly be plenty of other useful tips & techniques shared over the three days too.
Peter Dibble has been making baskets since 1995 and is sharing his expertise for the third time at Tear Up Festival.
Peter’s basketry is an eclectic mixture of styles but he would describe it, on the whole, as traditional.
A major aspect of what traditional means to Peter is working “on the plank” so if you choose his workshop, you will be sitting on a board, on the floor using a lap board.
Peter has been making baskets for over 25 years having originally been inspired by his father-in-law Will Berry, a well respected Suffolk basketmaker. His basketry style has developed over that time from a wide variety of influences. He always feels there’s more to learn. Teaching has been a sporadic thing across his career but certainly relishes the opportunity to pass on knowledge as it has been passed on to him.
Peter is a willow grower & master of our craft, creating aspirational work.
